Detroit and Toronto played a home-and-home series on Friday and Saturday. Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard earned the victory on Friday and had the day off on Saturday. The victory was Gustavsson's first of the season.

His extension is expected to be worth around $1.5 million, which is what he made in his past two seasons with the Red Wings. Holland said the paperwork should be worked out within days. Detroit didn't want to give Gustavsson more than a one-year contract because they didn't want netminder Petr Mrazek sitting down in the minors for too long. Gustavsson will serve as Jimmy Howard's backup in 2014-15, while Mrazek gets another year to start plenty of games with Grand Rapids.

Jonas Gustavsson could get a contract extension from the Red Wings in the near future.

Detroit Free Press

Impact

"I've been talking to Gustavswson's agent," GM Ken Holland said. "He played good for us. We'd like to keep him." He posted a 16-5-4 record last season to go with a .907 save percentage and a 2.63 goals-against average. The Wings are comfortable with Gustavsson as their backup goalie, which will give Petr Mrazek another year to develop in the minors.

He wants to return to Detroit next season and GM Ken Holland said Gustavsson is "still in play" for a new contract. He will serve as the Wings' backup netminder if he stays.

It's believed that Detroit has at least some interest in bringing back Jonas Gustavsson.

Detroit News

Impact

Gustavsson is set to become an unrestricted free agent after completing his two-year, $3 million deal. He's coming off of an okay season as the team's backup goaltender, but he's dealt with a fair amount of injury issues over the years and Detroit might feel it's time for prospect Petr Mrazek to stick with the Red Wings.

Gustavvson may not be back in Detroit | 05/04/2014 8:53 AM

News

There is a very real possibility that Jonas Gustavsson will not be in Detroit next season.

Detroit News

Impact

The 29-year-old is an unrestricted free agent and will likely be looking for a multi-year contract. The Red Wings have an almost NHL ready Petr Mrazek, who could back up starter Jimmy Howard in 2014-15. The Wings could delay Mrazek's fulltime entry into the NHL by one season but not by more. So if Gustavsson insists on a multi-year deal, he could be looking somewhere other than Detroit. Stay tuned.

Gustavsson, who will start Saturday in Detroit's most important game of the season, will be a free agent at the end of the campaign. The Red Wing brass will have to decide if they want him back to serve as Jimmy Howard's understudy or whether Petr Mrazek will be best served by playing 30 games in Detroit next season as opposed to starting in Grand Rapids. Gustavsson had a solid season posting a 16-4-5 record with a 2.63 goals-against average and an .907 save percentage and is certainly still on the Red Wings' radar.

He was thrust into action because Jimmy Howard's hand was bothering him and he did a very good job against a tough team. It was Gustavsson's first action of the season after coming back from a groin injury.

Jimmy Howard was slated to start but he was banged up against Philadelphia on Saturday and so he'll rest instead. He may get the nod when the Red Wings play Columbus on Tuesday.

Jonas Gustavsson's status is still up in the air.

MLive.com

Impact

The Red Wings back-up netminder is dealing with yet another groin injury, and general manager Ken Holland said the team wouldn't know how bad it was for another couple of days. The Swede was limited to just seven games last season.

Gustavsson was plagued by groin problems last season, so this is obviously a serious concern. When attempting to gauge when Gustavsson would return, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock was realistic. "Have you ever heard of a groin that was day-to-day," Babcock said. "We say day-to-day, and then seven to 10 days we start talking about them playing and then they play in two weeks, right?" In other words, don't count on Gustavsson being ready for the start of the 2013-14 campaign.

Jonas Gustavsson has put his groin injury behind him.

Detroit News

Impact

Gustavsson was limited to seven games last season. "I feel like I've been doing everything I can in the offseason to give myself the chance to be healthy," said Gustavsson. "I was healthy when I came into camp last season, too, so you never know what will happen. I'll take it for what it is and I feel 100 percent and I have all summer. There's no problems. I'm good to go, 100 percent." Either way, we can't recommend taking Gustavsson in standard leagues. Jimmy Howard will get the bulk of the playing time in Detroit and even ignoring Gustavsson's injuries, he frankly hasn't been a reliable goaltender in the NHL.

Wings want Jonas Gustavsson to rebound | 08/05/2013 12:07 PM

Detroit wants to see Jonas Gustavsson rebound in 2013-14 from a shaky debut season with their organization.

Detroit Free Press

Impact

Gustavsson was hoping to put his health concerns behind him and start anew with the Red Wings after some rocky play with Toronto, but he wasn't able to establish much of a footing last year. He appeared in just seven games and missed time with a groin injury. Detroit will need him to be much more reliable over a full 82-game schedule in 2013-14, so that they can give starter Jimmy Howard some time off during the season. This is the final year of his contract, so it could very well be his last season with the Red Wings.

Red Wings free agents not contributing | 04/20/2013 8:22 AM

News

One of the major reasons the Red Wings have struggled this season is the lack of production they have received from their offseason free agent acquisitions.

Detroit News

Impact

The group of incoming free agents was made up of Jonas Gustavsson, Carlo Colaiacovo, Jordin Tootoo, Mikael Samuelsson and Damien Brunner and the Swiss winger is the only member of that group to offer anything in the way of production although he has also struggled of late. Some of the difficulties have been related to injury, however there's no denying the fact these acquisitions haven't lived up to expectations.

Gustavsson allowed three of the seven Chicago goals (stopping nine out of 12 shots). He didn't get the loss, however, although that likely doesn't make much of a difference in most fantasy leagues.
